The new aircraft is game changer for Hawaiian, but I really wished they installed a dedicated premium economy section with recliner style seats. That would really set it apart from other US carriers flying domestic wide body to Hawaii.

[@johnsax1445]

Delta DOES offer Premium Economy on many, if not most, of their wide bodies to Hawaii.

[@kjjones8627]

wow that's an exhausting trip

[@Direct-Profile-21]

Great video! I flew on that same plane just a few weeks ago. Can't wait to see the 787's flying to Japan (hopefully) I also rode the Waymo to the airport and it was fantastic because I didn't have to talk or tip anyone 😂🤙

[@Scraghunter]

I think most aircraft have been refit to the 6000ft pressure setting. I don't hurt near as much as I used to after a flight.

[@Keystone75]

14:38 They definitely mislabeled that "sandwich." I'm guessing it was turkey sausage and...possibly yellow Swiss cheese?

[@GlobalAviationTravel]

Ya my guess is it’s supposed to say sausage, cheese and egg Sandwich

[@RnaldFish]

Please, I beg of you start narrating your videos. You don’t leave all of all enough for people to read them and watch the video too so we would appreciate narration. Thank you.

I've flown on Hawaiian Airlines a number of times, the last time was in October of 2014, back then Hawaiian had the Boeing 767-300 in their fleet, the flight went from Phoenix to Honolulu, then from Honolulu to Kauai on an MD-83/Boeing 717. I'm gonna have to book another flight to Maui in the near future. 👍

[@NotYanisYanis]

Hello I have a question Do you know a release date of the American Airlines Boeing 777-300ER JFK-DEL trip report? BTW nice video

[@GlobalAviationTravel]

Unfortunately my schedule changed so I had to cancel that flight and rebook it with United Airlines with the routing PHX-SFO-FRA-BLR, I have already posted the first two flights with the FRA-BLR coming soon

[@GageTucker-of2wd]

So you were going on it that day I was in Cali for a Disneyland at the time it wasn’t in AZ

[@HALLover808]

Unfortunately, I don’t think you were in an Extra Comfort Seat. You would have had a power outlet at your seat.

[@AviationFin]

Nicely done mate 👌

[@get2dachoppa249]

Waiting for HA to put the Dreamliner on the Tokyo route. Still only LAX & PHX. The delivery delays are evident.

[@Adumzzinthehouse]

Crews are still adjusting to the new plane before they deploy them to HA’s longest routes.

[@ZackBaker-u3j]

Hawaii and Alaska merger like other airlines.

[@sosaix3545]

Uh, didn't you mean the average age of those B787-9s is MONTHS, not years? They've literally just taken delivery of them this year.

[@GlobalAviationTravel]

Hawaiians first 787 was delivered quite late, when delivered the plane was already a few years old and was just sitting around

[@isaacmacdonald6530]

Nice video. Very impressive to see the Hawaiian Airlines 787. Also, Nice catch of the American 777-223 N797AN as NFL Charter Flight AA9749 for the Los Angeles Rams.

[@johnh.piersoniii7025]

I flew Hawaiian Airlines to Honolulu from LAX back in '13. Can't remember what aircraft it was. But the service was absolutely impeccable! And had the Hawaiian mood lighting/music! Phenomenal experience! 😊🤙

[@Archduke17]

Ordering 787s with neither Premium Economy nor electric outlets? No wonder they sold to Alaska.

[@MileHigh_Aviation]

awesome video

[@kevin19358]

Did you sleep on the plane, if so, how many hours?

[@GlobalAviationTravel]

Zero

[@NotYanisYanis]

Hello,​@@GlobalAviationTravel,Also I have another question Would you try American Airlines new Future long haul Route (Dallas To Brisbane)

[@kevin19358]

Oh you watch movie, okay.

[@kevin19358]

5:30, Only economy plus have universal power outlet, but not in regular economy class unfortunately.

[@HALLover808]

All Extra Comfort seats on the 787, A321 & A330 have individual power outlets. I don’t think the set was an extra comfort seat. And that’s a silly reason to say anything about the acquisition by Alaska.
